What are components of a pesticide formulation?
This formulation may consist of:
- The pesticide active ingredient that controls the target pest.
- The carrier, such as an organic solvent or mineral clay.
- Adjuvants, such as stickers and spreaders.
- Other ingredients, such as stabilizers, safeners, dyes, and chemicals that improve or enhance pesticidal activity.
What is formulation type?
Formulation type for an agricultural chemical product comprises a formulation code and description. Formulation type is a prescribed particular for a chemical product (reg 16(da) of the Agvet Regulations).
What are the main types of liquid formulations?
The three main types of liquid formulations are solutions (SL), suspensions (SC), and emulsions (EC). Besides there are Water Soluble Concentrate (WSC), Liquid Bait (L.B.), Oil Dispersion (O.D.), Invert emulsion (I.E.), Suspoemulsion (S.E.), Microemulsion (M.E.), Emulsion in water (EW).
What are the types of formulation?
Types of Pharmaceutical Formulations
- Oral drugs.
- Parental Formulations.
- Topical Formulations.
- Modified release Formulations.
- Modified release Formulations.
- Modified release Formulations.
- Novel Drug Formulations.
- Oncological Formulations.
What is difference between EC and SC formulation?
Suspension concentrate (SC) formulations consist of having a solid active ingredient dispersed in water. SCs have grown in popularity due to benefits such as absence of dust, ease of use and effectiveness when compared to other formulation types such as emulsifiable concentrate (EC) and wettable powder (WP).
What are the different types of fungicides?
Fungicides are broadly classified into three categories, namely, contact, translaminar and systemic. Contact fungicide, as the name suggests, is not distributed throughout all the plant tissues and just protects only the parts of the plants on which it is deposited while spraying.
What are chemical pesticides?
Pesticides are chemical compounds that are used to kill pests, including insects, rodents, fungi and unwanted plants (weeds). Pesticides are used in public health to kill vectors of disease, such as mosquitoes, and in agriculture to kill pests that damage crops.
How is DDT synthesized?
DDT, prepared by the reaction of chloral with chlorobenzene in the presence of sulfuric acid, was first made in 1874; its insecticidal properties were discovered in 1939 by a Swiss chemist, Paul Hermann Müller. DDT is applied as a dust or by spraying its aqueous suspension.
What are pesticide formulations?
Pesticide formulations are a combination of one or more active ingredients (a.i.), which control pests, and several inert ingredients. Many a.i.s are not soluble in water. Some may be toxic or unsafe to handle.
What are the components of a pesticide?
A pesticide formulation may consist of: w The pesticide active ingredient(a.i.) that controls the target pest; w The carrier, such as an organic solvent or mineral clay; w Surface-active ingredients, such as stickers and spreaders; and/or w Other ingredients, such as stabilizers, dyes, and chemicals that improve or enhance pesticidal activity.
What are active ingredients and inert ingredients in pesticides?
active ingredient (a.i.) + inert ingredients = Pesticide formulation Pesticide products have 3 names: Trade, brand, product name -Altacor Chemical name 3-Bromo-N-[4-chloro-2-methyl-6-[(methylamino)carbonyl]phenyl]- 1-(3-chloro-2-pyridinyl)-1H-pyrazole-5-carboxamide Common name -Chlorantraniliprole shorter unique chemical name accepted by EPA
What is the solvent of pesticides?
Some pesticide active ingredients dissolve readily in a liquid solvent, such as water or a petroleum-based diluent. When mixed, they form a solution that does not settle out or separate. Formulations of these pesticides usually contain the active ingredient, solvent (carrier or diluent), and one or more other ingredients. No emulsifier is required.
